The 2018 Clarendelle Blanc is a tasty, entry-level offering in this range. Bright, floral and expressive, this crisp white reflects the richness of the year while retaining a good bit of freshness in its citrus-driven profile. This is nicely done.
The Clarendelle 2018 Blanc is composed of one-third each of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. Already bottled, it opens with intense notions of white peaches, honeycomb, poached pears and allspice with a touch of mandarin peel. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is coated with open-knit, expressive stone fruit and ripe pear flavors, with a refreshing line and spicy finish. 150,000 cases produced.
